	Ignf is the short word for '''~~Ignferling~~'''. This word is one of the longest words in this language, having three syllables. Given the climate of Diaboli's homeland, it was difficult to breathe and so, to utter long sentences. So, Ignf is a language with a majority of bisyllabic and monosyllabic words. The vocalization is helped by semi-consonants, inappropiately called "vowels". These semi-consonants are rendered in Common Language by the vowels '''a''', '''i''' and '''u'''.

	Generally, words contain one of these semi-consonants per syllable, rarely two. When a word does not contain such a semi-consonant, it is used to vocalize it with the help of an '''i'''. Where this '''i''' is to be used, however, only experience may tell.		Generally, words contain one of these semi-consonants per syllable, rarely two.
